Betsy LaMere, Kent, New YorkMember Since March 2007Artist Statement We all express our life experiences and personality through our art, yet the artist never really know where his passion will lead him...

A native of Rochester, New York, I have been working as an artist for over twenty years. I currently work out of my studio at home on a small 40 acre farm in Kent where I reside with my family, two dogs, thirteen cats, sixteen ducks and three horses.

The main focus of my work is equine, though a large body of my photographic work is an expression of my everyday surroundings, which never fail to provide me with inspiration, appreciation and solace.

I work primarily in pen and ink and photography, as well as colored pencil and acrylic. The majority of the work found here on imagekind is my photographic work, due to the relative ease in reproducing it.
